We turned on the Cal-Duke game when we arrived. As the game went on we got louder and louder. By the end we were screaming and jumping around.

Oh my. That turned into a very good weekend.

Thank you Basketball Bears.

Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:33:15 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/beartalk/?p=36328#comment-169324Without a doubt one of the great moments in Cal sports history (which perhaps is a bit sad since other schools may measure such moments by championships). I keep a picture of the subsequent SI cover on my computer desktop at work, “Jason Kidd and Cal dethrone Duke” showing Kidd shooting over Hurley. I remember how high everybody was for the Sweet 16 game against KU the next week. When Kidd stole a pass early in that game and went in for the score, I thought for sure we would win that as well. Alas…
Then the following year taught us that a team apparently needs more than 2 NBA lottery picks to beat 5 guys from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I had an early morning neurobiology/microbiology (?) class that AM and rushed back to my apartment at the time to watch that disaster.

in the women’s bracket.

Although, I did run a scenario where NC State beats Indiana, where Cal could conceivably get very deep.

>>>ESPN Challenge is up. Come one, come all, and enter the group “BANG Bracket” to go against other regulars.

I just posted my picks. Cal making it to the Championship is probable. Right?

C’mon, JF. It’d be great if you posted your picks.

Annoyingly, after this win the expectations for the 1993-1994 team were so high, and that loss to Wisconsin-Green Bay was crushing.

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 18:40:47 +0000http://www.ibabuzz.com/beartalk/?p=36328#comment-168804I was a junior in HS, living across the street from a park with 2 full-courts, falling in love with the great game of basketball…Kidd to Murray is one of the THE GREAT college connections of all time.

I was watching that game, no doubt, with my father in our living room – going absolutely apesheet. RIP Dad… Go Bears!
